The Shimmy Pattern, also referred to as the Shimmy Shoulder Cozy, is a knitwear design created by Whitney Terrell as a NORO Weekend Exclusive Project.

A modern capelet-style accessory. Designed to sit gracefully across the shoulders, it offers warmth without bulk and features a relaxed fit with graceful movement. It uses an elegant textured stitch pattern that is specifically designed to showcase the stunning self-striping color transitions of NORO Saiun yarn.

The pattern is suitable for an Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate knitter, requiring comfort with knit and purl stitches and working in the round.
